The present dissertation investigates the impact of university study abroad (SA) programmes on intercultural adaptation and intercultural sensitivity of bilingual students from a multilingual and multicultural background. The study also examines their motives for taking part in SA programmes, pre-departure expectations and concerns. This research focuses on a group of twelve bilingual Catalan/Spanish students and employs a longitudinal design with both quantitative and qualitative methods. The results demonstrate how adaptation varied greatly depending on social, linguistic, and academic abilities. The study provides evidence that SA experiences have an overall positive effect on intercultural sensitivity although sojourns may also contribute to the development of cultural stereotypes. Expectations, language fluency, personal and linguistic confidence, and previous SA experiences appear to be factors influencing both adaptation and sensitivity. This dissertation provides recommendations so that higher education institutions organizing SA programmes can cater better for their students’ needs and make their cultural transitions smoother.
